Very pretty name, and much less common than Lauren.

Lorana seems to have been known in the USA before this name. I have been looking (not for names!) through a Scottish provincial newspaper, the Fife Herald, dated 19 February 1846. On page 4, from an unnamed American newspaper, it quotes advice to young men regarding getting a wife and settling down in domestic bliss. One sentence goes, in part: "... a host of Susans, Sarahs, Maries, Loranas, Olivias, Elizas, Betsies, Peggies, and Dorothies..." Of course, a printer may have mistaken somebody's handwriting of Lorena for Lorana, but it's still an interesting find regarding the date of what seems to imply quite common usage. Pretty name.

My favorite pronunciation of Lorena is with a short "e"sound like "Lor-en-a" like the word "Wren" or "men."Lorena is very similar to Loretta, which is another name I like...
However, I really don't like the name Lauren because it is too boring sounding without the final "uh" sound.
